Whilst we don’t condone or encourage using power drills, hammers, chisels on your phone, let alone dropping them from a 1 story car park onto concrete.. We do want to highlight the integrity of some of our best selling cases alongside our Tough On Xtreme Nano Guard screen protector.

This test isn’t about gimmicks. It’s about showing you, in real time, how much protection our gear actually gives you when the unexpected happens. Because let’s face it: no one plans to drop their phone on hard surfaces, but accidents do happen. And when they do, the right protection can mean the difference between a working device and a very expensive trip to the repair counter.

Watch the full clip via the button below.

The real challenge came next: a drop from over a one-storey height onto concrete.

We fitted an iPhone with the Nano Extreme Guard and secured it inside one of our ToughOn protective cases—the same combination available now for the iPhone 17. To capture the drama, we even mounted a gimbal to the phone for a first-person view of the fall.

From the top of a car park, over one storey high, we dropped the phone multiple times.

The verdict?

• The screen protector held up without a crack.

• The case absorbed the shock and kept the device intact.

• The iPhone remained fully functional after repeated drops.
  
  

This kind of impact is far worse than what you’ll face in day-to-day life—yet the case and protector combo came through without fail.

You might not be dropping your iPhone 17 off a car park, but everyday accidents happen:

• It slips out of your pocket while getting out of the car.

• It falls from the kitchen counter while charging.

• It tumbles off a desk at work.
  
  

Each of these can mean a cracked screen or worse.
But with the Nano Extreme Guard and ToughOn case (such as the Iron Shield above or the Armour Ultimate below), you can walk away worry-free, knowing your iPhone 17 is built to survive.

Your iPhone 17 (and any other flagship phone model) is more than just a phone—it’s an investment. Screen repairs alone can cost hundreds, not to mention the downtime and stress. For a fraction of the price, you can secure the protection you need from day one.

We’ve hammered it. We’ve scratched it. We’ve dropped it from heights you’ll (hopefully) never face.

And the ToughOn case + Nano Extreme Guard screen protector combo passed every test.

With the right protection, you can use your iPhone 17 with confidence—without the constant worry of cracks, chips, or costly repairs.

Just like the recent iPhone releases, the iPhone 17 will most likely not come with a charger in the box. That means if you want to experience fast, reliable charging from day one, you’ll need the right accessory by your side.

Tough On's 30W USB-C Fast-Charge Wall Charger is the perfect match. Built with PD 3.0 technology (which you can read more about charging protocols and their jargon here), it delivers rapid, safe charging to keep your iPhone 17 powered up.

Compact, travel-friendly, and equipped with built-in protection against overheating and overcharging, it’s the charger you’ll be glad to have when unboxing your new iPhone 17.

With the iPhone 17 Air expected to be ultra-thin and lightweight, finding accessories that complement its sleek design is essential. The Tough On 5000mAh Ultra Slim Magnetic Power Bank is the perfect match for your new device. It packs a 5000mAh capacity, giving your phone a convenient power boost whenever you’re on the go.

We expect the iPhone 17 to come with similar magnetic features as its predecessors. One MagSafe compatible accessory that has proved very popular is the slim MagWallets from Tough On. Keep your necessary cards as well as a convenient.

With elegant through to more rugged designs, device handling hasn’t been safer.
Case Mate along with a few other brands we stock pride themselves in hands-free straps and bracelets that can be wide enough to feature over shoulder as well.
The design is will fit with all phone cases and allows you to charge your phone without removing it.

Be prepared.
We can't stress that enough.
As we've realised over the years preparation is key.. we see it all too often (the devastation) of our customers when they come in-store to us just days/ weeks after getting the brand new flagship iPhone model and need something fixed, be-it back glass, camera lenses or even a new screen just because they didn't take appropriate measures to safeguard their devices from the harshest of realities - everyday life.

Whilst this buyers guide for the iPhone 17 tempts you with all the wonderful accessories you'll be able to buy from launch, the most important ones we still believe are: A sturdy, (and aesthetically pleasing) case, screen protector, charger (because they don't supply them anymore) and camera lens protectors.
